" There are not a lot of cookbooks specifically for teenagers. Award-winning author and chef Matthew Locricchio hopes to change that. His newest book, TEEN CUISNE gives teenagers a slew of recipes to sink their teeth into."

"With its clearly outlined, sophisticated recipes and sumptuous color photos worthy of a coffee-table title, this substantial, well-designed cookbook takes its young audience seriously as it invites them to develop culinary skills. In contrast to some youth cookbooks, there are no condescending attempts to cutesify food on these pages. Locricchio has collected an excellent repertoire of basic dishes that will appeal to a broad teen palette while also reflecting young people’s growing awareness of and comfort with international flavors and healthy choices."
